I am also having the same problem of not being able to browse most HTTPS
sites via Firefox, and SSL within Thunderbird is also broken. I believe
this is something to do with Ubuntu's networking/secure libraries,
however, because I also have VMWare Server installed with Windows XP
running as Guest OS and when I launch that and try to browse the same
HTTPS sites with Internet Explorer, they are also broken, just like on
Firefox in the Host OS (Ubuntu). I have tried re-installing Firefox and
the associated libraries as mentioned above ("sudo apt-get install
--reinstall firefox libnspr4 libnss3") but this did NOT fix the issue
for me. When I run the re-install, I get this message at the end:
"Warning: something created compreg.dat!
Your system was affected by this bug: https://launchpad.net/bugs/30791
compreg.dat has now been removed again, which should fix the symptoms."
But this still does not fix my issues.
My version of Ubuntu (64-bit):
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 7.04
Release: 7.04
Codename: feisty
Firefox version:
Version: 2.0.0.3+1-0ubuntu2
This issue started happening on May 11, 2007 and was never a problem
before that. I upgraded in place from Edgy to Feisty several weeks ago.
